On Sept. 23 and 24, the Massachusetts Highway Association hosted its 36th annual New England Public Works Expo at the Holiday Inn in Boxborough, Mass. The show, which has grown to be one of New England’s largest equipment expos, features the region’s latest heavy equipment, construction, municipal and highway products and services from top vendors. This year, the show was a major success with more than 150 vendors and 1,500 attendees.

In the Massachusetts Highway Association’s continued efforts to assist towns and companies with the new regulatory requirements for the hoisting license, the 2015 New England Public Works Expo offered continuing education classes for renewing the 4E and 4G hoisting license.

Educational/safety awareness classes also were hosted for out-of-state attendees. The classes covered 4E Catch Basin Cleaner training, 4G Specialty Mower training and 2 hour CE training.

All students that attended the training received a certificate of completion for the designated class.

Complimentary coffee and donuts were provided all day during the event and a complimentary BBQ and refreshments also were provided to all exhibitors and attendees both days.

Featured exhibitors at the event included, but were not limited to:

• C.N. Wood

• Woodco Machinery
